Innovate!

What we focus on expands.
J P Horgan

Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.
Wayne Dyer

For this week’s edition of the SoberOasis Weekly Reflections, I am delighted to present an innovation.

Having resisted moving away from the written word for over two years now, I have finally decided to test the waters of the audio-visual world. This week’s episode is the first step in that direction.

Moving out of my comfort zone was made all the easier by the fact that JP Horgan, a newly discovered friend from Toronto, Canada, reached out to me in such a friendly fashion with his invitation to come join him on his show.

Even though we made our first connection a mere month ago, the not-so-suprising fact, considering the parallels in our life experience, was that we got on so well, as if we had been friends all our lives. This is reflected in our wonderful conversation about The Great Spirit, the Universe, Life’s Challenges, Adversity, Courage, Recovery, PQ Mental Fitness, Transformation, and Paying Forward to the next generation.

JP proved to be a very gifted and gracious host who put me at ease from the get-go of this unrehearsed conversation. I wish to express my thanks to him for this inspiring experience.

Summer Solstice

We arrived on the first day of the retreat in awe of the wild, beautiful natural surroundings of Ballycroy, Co. Mayo in the stunning, pristine, natural landscape of the Erris Blanket Bog. Here in the wild West of Ireland, it would be no surprise to encounter selkies at dusk where the sand dunes meet the ocean on the further shore of the estuary, the confluence of the two black-brown rivers as they dissolve into the broad, salty ocean. This encounter with the “wildness without” is conducive to our opening up to the “wildness within”, a wildness that often gets buried beneath layers of societal expectations, childhood coping strategies, urban living, busy schedules, family obligations, and the superficialities of life in our driven consumer society…

Indivisible Reality

When we say a person has her feet on the ground, we mean rooted in reality, perception unclouded by denial, delusion, illusion, grandiosity, or anxiety, all states that skew our sense of reality. If we can’t even recognise where we are, we will have enormous difficulty in getting where we want to go. It’s a bit like asking Google Maps to take me to “Cologne Cathedral” and when the prompt comes to submit my current location, I enter “unknown”. Even Artificial Intelligence algorithms are going to have great difficulty in providing accurate directions under such circumstances…

When we operate in hyper-rational mode, those with whom we interact tend to become intimidated, especially if the are less analytically inclined. We appear to them as emotionally cold, even harsh. In doing so, we proliferate a pattern we experienced as children, whereby our feelings and perceptions are discounted and belittled. The tragedy in adult life is that we are now doing this to ourselves, in our own inner dialogue, as well as to others. In the work of our circles, we men begin to transcend this old, ingrained pattern, get in touch with our feelings and – further underneath – our intuition…
